The Icicle Works - Hope Springs Eternal lyrics

Spent the night in a stranger's house Trying to re-ignite an old flame Came to nothin' Not sure what I want When I find it I'll be aware That man looks like his dog But he'll sit and listen while I spin my yarn Don't sleep 'til way past three Down on my luck I'm down on my knees Hope Springs Eternal Good Fortune Comes To Those Who Wait One speaks with love in mind One's so insecure, a friendly word can't warm her Got a job, got some pay Had a problem, wished it away My rearview mirror's fogged But I'm not afraid The past can't overtake you Old lady with a shopping bag You long to buy and sell Hope Springs Eternal Good Fortune Comes To Those Who Wait Get out of bed, we're going to drive into town Make a big noise, remind ourselves who we are The goldmine can't come round here You'll have to scratch in the dirt Faith don't work that way
